Dieu De Pagoda, Buddhist temple near Gia Hoi Bridge in Hue, Vietnam.
Dieu De Pagoda is a Buddhist temple situated on the banks of Ho Thanh River in Hue. The complex features four low towers positioned around its main gate and houses statues of Buddha and various Bodhisattvas within its halls.
The temple was founded in 1844 under King Thieu Tri and became nationally important during the Nguyen Dynasty era. It became a site of political upheaval in 1963 when Buddhist tensions led to widespread protests across Vietnam.
